Stracciatella

This is a very simple and fast soup and it seems the origin is in Medieval age (the presence of nutmeg and cheese confirm it). When some guests suddenly came, maybe very tired after a long trip, it was a precious resource for the cook to prepare this soup with ingredients always available in the kitchen, from that the medieval name in original text "Zuppa improvvisata" (sudden soup) and in addition to these ingredients there was the parsley.

Ingredients

  • 4 Eggs

  • 4 tablespoons parmesan cheese

  • 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs

  • salt and pepper

  • Broth

  • Little nutmeg

Preparation

  1. Break the eggs and beat with parmesan cheese and breadcrumb, salt and pepper and a little nutmeg.

  2. Prepare in a pot a vegetable or chicken broth, strain the liquid and when the broth boils again, pour the mixture of the eggs straight in the pot and shake well with a fork for few seconds.
